I FR my cham 24/7. He spent about a year wandering ALL over the house and licking everything. He once ended up in the cage with the parrot, even though I put plexiglass around the bottom of the cage. He shimmied up where the corners met! I then applied box tape to the corners and that problem was taken care of! It is amazing where they will get to if they want to. My cham also walks to the front door to go outside. We go for walks around the neighborhood when the weather is nice. But he has no problem walking around on the floor, so if you aren't used to watching where you walk at all times, you could easily end up stepping on your cham. Also, I have a sweet parrot who loves everyone and everything, but I still never let them together without supervision. Other pets need to be watched carefully. He also liked to climb up lamps, so care must be taken to safeguard your cham from getting to the lightbulb where he could be burned. But overall, it has been a great experience and I don't think I could ever have a cham in a cage after seeing how much he hates being caged and is so content being FR'ed. I started FRing him at 5 months after he kept climbing out of his cage every time I opened it. He is my first cham and it was very scary. Sometimes I couldn't even find him! He also decided to spend weeks in the bathroom window with no UVB, food, or water. I took him out every morning to give him proper light, food and water, but back he would go. . . Now, he's 2 years old and tends to stay in his FR all the time.

OMG THAT IS AWESOME!!!! Do they ever bother each other or climb each others tree's? I was thinking about FR another cham in the same room but my guys travel's all over the room now, and I know housing more than one can be an issue. How do you do it?
